A 1971 Jim Beam commemorative decanter marking the first convention of the National Association of Jim Beam Bottle and Specialties Clubs in Denver — porcelain by Royal China, a decanter about decanters.
Brand: Jim Beam / Royal China
Vintage: 1971
Dimensions: 11.0" tall (with stopper) | approx. 8.0" wide at widest point
Material: Porcelain
Condition: Very good vintage condition. No chips or scratches. Original label, tax strip, and gold accents intact. Plastic cork has deteriorated and is cracking — best for display. Please review all photos carefully — we cannot accept returns.
A truly unique gift for the serious Jim Beam collector, the bourbon history enthusiast, or any dad who appreciates the kind of piece that tells a whole story just by sitting on the shelf.
The front features a map of the United States with each state's corresponding Jim Beam bottle illustrated within its borders — a remarkable snapshot of the full collection at the time. The back lists all the 1971 affiliate clubs and their locations across the country, and a fun illustration of Reginald Fox graces the lid — the same dapper fox who appears throughout the Jim Beam Specialties Club series. The National Association of Jim Beam Bottle and Specialties Clubs was founded in 1971 and grew rapidly through the 1970s as Jim Beam's figural decanter series became one of the most popular collectible categories in America, making pieces like this first-convention decanter particularly significant in the hobby's history.
